StarWind Software

Could somebody explain this setting? What is it for? Is it related with the "Use file system buffering" setting? How do I determine the value to type here?

If you're using "alien" disk images (like the ones you still have from the WinTarget) you may make StarWind ignore some initial offset (where WinTarget f.e. writes his system information).

So I can check "Use file system buffering", which should speed things up, and leave "Header size in sectors:" untouched?

Yes. And we'll hide this control in the future versions.
